Description:
The LDT9965BD, by LG, struts around with its "luxurious" black stainless steel exterior -- which veers away from the industrial-looking silver finish usually sported by stainless dishwashers, while it is powered by a 10-year warranty Inverter Direct Drive motor, that is built using fewer components -- which LG says makes it 30% more efficient than Energy Star standards (and yields a cost-per-year rating of $31 dollars). It also includes LG's system to to wash with less noise with its LoDecibel Quiet Operation technology, giving it a near-bottom 42-dB sound rating -- only a few dishwashers reach 39 to 40 decibels (the quietest we have heard about so far).
